The 2015 NACRA Sevens Championships kick off on two fields at WakeMed Soccer Park Saturday, June 13, with 17 men’s and women’s international sevens sides competing for their place at the Rio 2016 Olympic Summer Games.

An HSBC Sevens World Series Cup Final victory and a sixth-place finish on the season were deemed unrealistic achievements for the Men’s Eagles Sevens prior to the opening round in Australia last October.

Chris Wyles will join Residency athletes and additional Men’s Eagles Sevens pool players at the June High Performance Camp at the Olympic Training Center, from which a squad of 12 will be selected for the 2015 NACRA Sevens Championships.
